This is one of the three accolades awarded during the Quai des Bulles, alongside the Petit Robert, given to the best scriptwriter and the Ballon Rouge for the most promising young author. There will be some 100 stands and four times as many cartoonists at this unmissable event: the Angoulême comic strip festival in the Charente region has got some serious competition.
